Section 8 information WI?

Question

how's that all work? Do you find a place first or do you apply for section 8 first? how do you apply? what are the restrictions?

Answer 1

You need to apply for Section 8 and be approved prior to finding a property. This process can be lengthy, depending on where you are. As mentioned already, some areas have long waiting lists for Section 8.

Here is the WI housing authoritys website for Section 8 - http://www.wheda.com/vouchers/voucherprogram.asp This will tell you about the program, how to apply, about waiting lists, about eligability, and selecting a property.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I would definitely apply first, in IL the section 8 list is 6 years long now. Just go to your local Housing Authority office and when you go to apply they will tell you all about the restrictions and etc.
